A picture dating back to 2004 to Christopher Ray when he was in charge of the Justice Department - Archive
Christopher Ray, who was elected by President Donald Trump on Wednesday as the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a lawyer at the King & Spaulding office and a former US Department of Justice official.
Ray, 50, served as Assistant Secretary of Justice between 2003 and 2005 during the presidency of President George W. Bush and was assigned to the Criminal Division of the Department where he worked closely with the FBI.
While working at the ministry, Ray helped tackle corporate fraud scandals and was a member of the corporate fraud team and oversaw major fraud investigations, including a case involving energy giant Enron.
During his tenure at King & Spauling, Ray, who graduated from the Yale Law School in 1992, led a unit representing entities and individuals in criminal cases and those related to the application of employee systems, resolving civil disputes and conducting internal corporate investigations.
Trump's announcement came a day before former FBI director James Kume, who was fired by Trump in May, testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee about Russia's intervention in the 2016 presidential election and Moscow's complicity with the Trump campaign.
Ray, if the Senate approves his appointment, will replace acting FBI director Andrew McCabe, who has been in office since Kome's dismissal.
